Psychological and spiritual maturation

This is an excellent presentation of transpersonal psychology from a Catholic and Christian perspective. Integrating the work of such diverse psychologists as Thomas Hora (a sophisticated exponent of existential psychiatry with a New Thought twist), Roberto Assagioli (from Jung to the New Ager Alice Bailey), Victor Frankl and the rationalist William Glasser, this work presents an holistic approach to healing and to facilitating psychological and spiritual maturation. One of the best available presentations of the precise relationship between the spiritual and the psychological spheres in practice and theory.
